In a world inherently full of scarcity, violence, unpredictability, and a lack of meaningful inclusion, many bodyminds develop dis-stress, dys-regulation, dis-ease, and other adaptive trauma responses. I offer neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-assumed therapy to individuals aged 15+, their caregivers, and groups. I serve as a guide to my clients as we experiment with new strategies to replace disempowering Stress Response System patterns with more empowering ones, including:

• Somatic strategies to enhance interoceptive awareness

• Movement-based strategies to activate safety in the bodymind

• Emotional strategies to attune to the authentic self

• Cognitive strategies to unlearn disempowering belief systems

• Behavioral strategies to reorganize neural pathways

• Social strategies to achieve a values-aligned life

Exploring the relationship of mind, body, and spirit can provide more profound change than talk therapy alone. I take an experiential and collaborative approach with clients in order to move through challenges holistically, using mindfulness, body-based, and scientifically informed methods. Drawing on existing strengths and gaining new insights into how you experience the world can result in greater skill and resilience in relationships, career, life transitions, or more traumatic incidents. I am a certified Yoga teacher with training in couples and trauma counseling. I am completing my MA in Somatic Counseling Psychology at Naropa University.

I am a therapist with a private practice conveniently located near Hwy 36 and the University of Colorado. There is plenty of free parking. I offer a student discount for full-time adult students. Please visit my website at sites.google.com/site/ashleyeder for more information.

In addition to other areas, I have extensive experience and interest in: *Relationship Issues (an individual's patterns as well as couple and family dynamics) *Mood (including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorders) *Trauma (both developmental traumas and also major events) *Food and Body Concerns (including eating disorders) *Life Transitions (such as leaving home for college, getting married or divorced, parenting, and other significant life changes) *Personal Growth (becoming more aware of, able to grow into, and free to express your true self)
